Crankwalk?

I have heard of people saying 03's are starting to crankwalk but I did a search and didn't really find anything. Are 03's with very little to no mods suseptable to crankwalk? At 30,000 miles? I know all cars are, hell I've seen Supra's walk, but do they have the same self destruct bearings like 2g dsm's do?

I've only read about one instance.

My 03 is holding up famously, 50k miles 400+ hp, 28psi and driven like I'm not the one paying for it

Maybe you've never heard of the dreaded Crankwalk on 7 bolts in 2g (95-99) dsm's. I dont think they intended to make a motor that would self destruct itself but hey, look at subaru the 02-03 buyeye trannys strip themselves in normal use, its called Bad worksmanship.

oh no...... i can see all the crank walk rumors now!!!

people usually thought they had crankwalk when really it was a bad master clutch cyl.

hence the "if your clutch is stuck when you make left handed turn you have crankwalk"
